I need a TV lesson

[JoeH]

I personally like the LG products, have seen the Samsung TV's but thought they sold at a premium compared to the equivalent quality items from other makers.

Go where you can compare. I think Best Buy still has a lot of TVs on their showroom floor and then you can always buy elsewhere. 1080 is the minimum but if you expect to use them for a long enough time, go 4k, at least for the biggest one. LCDs have different real refresh rates. Try to get a refresh rate of 240 but watch out for claims or names that make it seem the TV has a 240 refresh rate when it is actually something else like 120.

I love my plasma Vizio.

you'll be safe with any of these brands: Samsung, LG, Vizio, TCL, Sony

Avoid Element, Olivia, Emerson, RCA, Magnavox, or anything that you have never remotely heard of.

Walmart, Sam's Club, Costco generally have good deals (Bestbuy on occasion but not generally)

Target has a good selection. In would get something bigger than 32" for the smaller ones.

You couldn't pay me enough to take my late model Panny plasma.

Love my 50" Vizio plasma. Only 720P, but it sure seems crisper than 1080p's I've seen in the stores.

But are you sure you need the bedroom TV's coming from never owning a TV at all? Our family treats bedrooms as places to sleep and... well... carnal activities, but not as places for consuming media. After we got married and bought our house, my wife insisted on a TV in the bedroom, but within a year, it got used less and less and finally just sat there collecting dust. Our daughter has never had a TV in her bedroom, and hasn't wanted one.

I think you are right. This is also a wife thing.

One TV will be in the guest bedroom. We have had a few complaints over the years. The one in our bedroom is for the times when I am sick in bed, too sick to read but not sick enough to sleep. This once happened about 20 years ago.

Never have allowed TVs in the bedrooms here.

If the wife said she wanted a TV in the driveway, I'd put one there. After 32-years of marriage, you learn not to fight battles that you will lose. That is why we still have a landline and HBO.
